really random wiring question, but with a great drawn description
struby:
ok, so here is my awesome drawing, as you can see...time consuming, so the TB is trackball
GT1 and 2 are ground terminals 1 and 2 respectively, and the black and red wires are both ground wires which from the drawing, clearly go through all of player 1-4's button, joystick, start, and coin microswitches, but then in the middle, in my three misc buttons, I have issues with symmetry here, kinda, well it's hard to explain, but for my own personal beef, I want them both to go through that middle button, will that be bad in any way at all, if yes, then lemme know and I guess I can deal with it:
this or i can make it all one loop from ground terminal 1 to ground terminal 2 through all the buttons, whichever works best for me, thanks

:laugh2:
Nice pic.
You won't have a conflict with both GTs going through the button.
Man, I can't wait to see you machine after that drawing! :cry: :laugh2: :cry:
Spaz Monkey:
I would start at GT1, go though all the buttons and stop at GT2. It would keep your symmetry and not do any extra wiring.
polaris:
i would avoid crossing circuits if at all possible, it may not have any effect but its unecessary to find out, i appreciate your design ethic (its evident in the standard of your design work :laugh2:- sorry just my little joke) of symmetry but keep the nice work for whats gonna be seen, the top of the cp wont be symmetrical unless p2 is set for a left hander so why worry about the ground route.

hmmm, well this is clearly a searing indictment of the modern. a juxtaposition of ideals if you will. the red and the black, opposing forces of nature yet only together do they make the whole. a stand off of philosophies is evident, as is moral dilemma. a truly transcendental piece by Struby, whose work grows from strength to strength. klee and mondrian rolled into one!
